Somewhere beautiful to stay en route to St Jean De Monts from Nantes Airport

by clint04

Hi guys,

could anyone suggest somewhere fab to stay over on the way to St Jean De Monts from Nantes airport?

We need to bare in mind that we'll have two tired children straight off a plane so we only want to travel a max of 30 mins from the airport. If we go somewhere half way or so then we've estimated that we'll only have approx 40 mins of travelling the next day to get to our holiday destination of Orouet, St Jean De Monts.

Check list required is;

1. Somewhere 30 min from the airport en route to holiday destination

2. Somewhere beautiful to wake up to in the morning !

3. Somewhere that serves a typical French breakfast, has swimming pool (outside)
and the Kids say 'WOW' to because its so pretty !

Not a lot to ask for I'm sure.....????


P.S RYAN AIR ARE SELLING FLIGHTS FOR £5 TO NANTES AT THE MINUTE UNTIL MONDAY I THINK? ONLY FROM CERTAIN AIRPORTS THOUGH.

I would think about it again. It is only 63 km from Nantes airport to St. Jean de Mont. This takes slightly over one hour to drive. If you go to a closer location by the sea (which is a nice view for me) it takes you about 40 minutes, and you have the hassle of packing everything together the next morning. I do not know if it makes such a big difference if the tired kids are in the car another half hour to be right at the final destination...

If it really is an issue, there is a big fishing lake named Lac de Grand-Lieu south of the airport, very rural. But I can't recall if there was great accommodation available, and how the views would have been, as I stayed in Nantes on my last visit of the region. Looking on the internet, there are B&B rooms, a gite, and a 2 star hotel in a fishing village named Passay. But as said, I do not know if they have nice views, but I suppose it is a quiet place.

Travel Tips for Nantes

Maillé Brézé, military boat

by chess_machine

Along the Loire harbour, you can visit a militiray boat: le MAILLE BREZE. I did it when I was quite young so I dont remember very accurately.

Thing is you actually have a very special atmosphere, that of cold war (even if this boat probably never get involved in any cold war conflict).

The boat is pretty big, grey and most people in Nantes have either visited it or heard about it.

A great unusual place to visit.

Enjoy the small village of SALLERTAINE, though it's small there is so much too see! It's in the countryside between the sunflowerfields.
This places has two pretty churches. A new one and a very old one that was built in the 13th century. In the old church are always expositions. This village has also a small art centre where paintings are sold and there is a big cellar where you can taste different kinds of wine.
